It's Always About People
We're not just building housing—we're building futures. Every development, every partnership, every decision begins with the people we serve.
"I didn't just study affordable housing in a classroom. I lived it. That's why I build it differently." — Dr. Troy Nash, CEO & Co-Founder
From Section 8 to CEO
Where you live shapes who you become.
We bring lived experience
to every community we serve.
Our founder grew up in Section 8 public housing, on welfare, without a father in the home. Today, we combine public sector experience, private sector expertise, and personal understanding to develop housing that truly transforms communities—because we know what's at stake.
We stay engaged from the first SPARK of an idea to the moment it delivers lasting value and impact.
Partnering With Purpose
We partner differently because we've lived it. From Section 8 to CEO, our leadership understands affordable housing from the inside—building enduring relationships with faith partners, municipalities, and nonprofits.
Opening Doors To What's Possible
Two generations. One mission. We bring together diverse perspectives in pursuit of transformative community development. Through collaboration, we connect insights to unlock potential in every neighborhood.
Delivering Outcomes That Matter
Nine advanced degrees. Eight years on City Council. We navigate complexity because we've been on both sides of the table—finding the best solution for every community.
Our integrated system
Over three decades, we have strategically grown our expertise to address an increasingly complex affordable housing landscape.
